سلِask الليلَthe night عنabout ماwhat قدalready لقيتُI have endured وماand what ألقىI endure
سلِ الليلَ عن ما قد لقيتُ وما ألقى
يخبركمit will tell you أنيthat I بحبكمُbecause of love for you أشقىam wretched
يخبركم أني بحبكمُ أشقى
Ask the night about what I have endured and what I endure;
Ask the night about what I have found and lost
It will tell you that I am wretched because of my love for you.
It will tell you that for loving you I suffer the most
Sol 6.1
